Description and Alternative Items

Rainmaker is a unique weapon introduced during Echoes of Reality. It is a Pulse Accelerator that uses seal technology to generate destructive energy.

Rainmaker fires one bullet that splits into 5 projectiles when it reaches near its target. The action of splitting automatically happens when the projectile approaches the targeted location, regardless of whether the enemy stays put or moves away.

Each of the split projectiles does the same amount of mentioned damage. Rainmaker can also do weak point damage; each split projectile is capable of doing so. Hence, this weapon is one of the most favored among lancers, especially during boss fights.

This item has a special ability, which is a procedural perk that can be activated by performing an action mentioned in its masterwork perk.
Masterwork Perk: Fires an energy burst that explodes into smaller projectiles.

Obtaining Methods

Rainmaker can be obtained in the following ways:

• War Chests
• Regulator Store (When available)

Cortex Entry

Cortex Entries are small pieces of lore attached with the particular weapon found in Anthem and accessed through the Cortex. All weapons have at least one entry associated with them. All Masterwork and Legendary weapons' cortex entries directly add to the narrative of the world.

Check Cortex Entry: Rainmaker (Weapon) for More Information

A combination of advanced technology and a dangerous disregard for personal safety. Freelancer Beckman—known for turning impossible situations into victories—is often cited as the inspiration for this weapon's creation. Beckman once stole the blueprints for an undeveloped Dominion weapon and then fled into the Grey Steppes. He made a dramatic last stand during a lightning storm near the city of Delian Gol. Months later, the stolen plans somehow surfaced at the Arcanist Academy.

Currently, this item cannot be crafted.

Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)

• When launched, Rainmaker’s shot projectiles split into 13 projectiles instead of the current 5. This made it one of the most powerful weapons in the entire game.
• Because of the overpowered nature of the 13 projectiles, Rainmaker was heavily nerfed, and its projectile count was reduced to 5.
• In the game the Magazine size (also known as the clip size) is incorrectly referred to as Ammo within the statistics of a weapon.
